| Description: |
A cheap handmade knife made by wrapping one end of a sharp piece of metal (or wood, stone, glass, etc. - anything somewhat hard & sharp) in cloth, rope, or tape to protect the wielder's hand. The shiv shown above has a cutting edge, but many will just come to a point, making them useless for anything but stabbing. Once popular with convicts, the shiv has become widely used by the desperately poor or those desiring ease of concealment. |
